We report the case of a 79-year-old woman who had a dynamic hip screw migration into the pelvis after dynamic hip screw osteosynthesis for a pertrocanteric fracture.This kind of complication is very rare and to date we have not found any reported case in literature but with increasing prevalence of osteoporosis, aging population and increasing number of hip fracture fixed with dynamic hip screw there is always a possibility of this type of complication.
